In Episode 12, Chop and Alexis are back with another unfiltered conversation breaking down the latest in hip-hop, music business, and culture.

We kick things off debating Complex’s “50 Best New York Rappers of All Time” list—who was ranked too high, who got overlooked, and did they actually get it right?

Then we get into DJ Hed creating a diss-free version of Drake’s “2 Hard 4 The Radio”—was it a smart move or did it take away from the energy of the record?

And things get serious as we break down Jay-Z’s freestyle at The Roots Picnic 👀 We discuss what many are calling direct shots aimed at Drake, Nicki Minaj, Dame Dash, Kanye West, Oschino, Tory Lanez, Jaguar Wright, and more. Was Hov clearing the air, sending warnings, or setting the record straight?

Plus, we tap into industry gems, hip-hop debates, and the conversations everybody’s thinking but not always saying out loud.

All that and more with real opinions, real experience, and real talk you won’t get anywhere else.
